Well hey folks - it's Julie Christina, pomagranate@yahoo.com,
checking in here. My flush/cleanse program has been very successful,
and I thought I'd share a few details.
I finished my 11th cleanse over 5 months ago. These 11 cleanses were
done within about a 9 month period, after I began having attacks in
July 2001 (never more frequent then every other week).
My attacks became less and less frequent as the number of my flushes
increased. Whereas I was getting attacks a few times a week, they
began happening monthly as I completed more cleanses. Then every
other month, etc.
After the 11th flush, I waited 5 months to have another flush, my
12th, which I just finished up this week (10/15/02). I also stopped
taking Birth Control pills 5 months ago, which are a major known
contributor to the creation of gallstones.
This past month I started feeling a few tweaks around my gallbladder.
You know those little twinges that are usually the precursor to an
attack happening. Sometimes soreness.
I have not had a gall bladder attack in 5 months, and did this
cleanse as a preemptive strike. The only modification I've done to
Dr. Hulda's flush is that I skip the 4th dose of epson salts, and
start drinking juice at 8 a.m., eating at 10.
Usually I start seeing stones around 2-3 a.m., however this last
flush I thought might not be very successful, due to no stones at
that time. Then, after taking my 3rd dose at 6 a.m. - jackpot ;)
Lots of stones, chafe, different colors, etc. The volume of output
was about the same as my first flush! The first flush - the water
was COVERED in green and tan chafe, stones, at least twice. This was
the same. THe most amazing part was probably a 1" by 2.5"
stalagtite? of compressed balls, stones, and chafe, many different
colors. Was a rather neat change because my last few flushes didn't
produce much chafe/gallstone output.
Daily, I take a fiber suppliment a few minutes before eating, then
during the meal take one Beta Plus tablet, and two large gelatin caps
of soy lecithin (which I make myself). I usually take flaxseed oil 2-
3 times a week. I start each morning with a pint of warm lemon water,
and a pint of organic apple juice. I have mail ordered two large
bottles of Rowachol from Europe that I was taking, however stopped
taking about 5 months ago. I eat alot less cheese than I used to,
but do eat this perhaps 3 times a week, probably 1/3 to 1/4 of what I
used to consume. I exercise 3x week, and drink plenty of water.
I am very thankful that this seems to be working, and I'm finding the
windows between attacks getting larger and larger. Never would have
guessed I'd be attack free for 5 months when I started.
